Making a Hash of it

Last night we couldn't really be bothered to make anything, what with cake baking, visiting friends and trying their cake and baking the biggest Dundee cake in the world (it took nearly 2 hours to cook!) I wanted something extremely savoury and relatively easy to cook.

So nothing in the oven as we had the giant cake in there, I thought a hash, comforting, tasty and pretty much one pot cooking. We had leftover from a bacon joint and some sweetheart cabbage that had been sauteed, I cooked a few new potatoes and sliced up an onion.


Recipe:

3 thick slices of gammon chopped up into chunky pieces
1 onion sliced
Half a bag of new potatoes, boiled
Any leftover veg, we had cabbage.


Heat some olive oil and butter in a saute pan and throw in the onion, cook until soft and going golden and add the meat.  Whilst this is happening you can cook the potatoes, once boiled chop them up roughly and add to the pan with the left over veg. spread the mixture out over the pan so it is in one layer and leave to get crispy then break up and flip over to get it all soft and cripy and hot and golden brown.

We had ours with a coleslaw using up the left over red and white cabbage, carrot and my Dad's secret coleslaw recipe!

This is a really easy way of using up leftovers, if you have cold left over potatoes even better as you don't have to cook them specially!

Enjoy
